This is a commuter city so be prepared to spend a lot of your life in a car. If you're lucky enough to work close to home, your neighbors probably aren't. It's considered along with Temecula to be a "bedroom community" of San Diego. The shopping is awesome where every store imaginable is close by. The crime however was too much for us, the banks were constantly being robbed and frankly I was tired of wakiing up in the middle of the night to the sound of search helicopters and we lived in a $500+ neighborhood. Overall, if you're looking for the best place to raise your kids, I'd keep looking, it's easy for them to get lost in the crowd here. Don't get me wrong the schools are pretty decent and do do some pretty wonderful things for the kids, it's just the sheer volume of people here moving in and out of the area.
